Feed Statistics 1.2: Monitor your most popular feeds

I've updated the Feed Statistics plugin for Wordpress to version 1.2; this update adds a "Top Feeds" page where you can see what the most popular feeds for your website are (e.g., main feed, category feeds, different feed formats). It shows a list of all of the feed URLs that your subscibers are requesting, and how many people are requesting each feed.

Top Feeds List

(Note: if you're already running the plugin, this page will take some time to fully populate.)

This release also includes a fix proposed in the comments section by Nathan Pralle to better detect all of the different ways that feeds are accessed. Thanks Nathan!

To install this plugin:

  • If you installed an earlier version, download the zip file of the latest version here, and overwrite feed-statistics.php in your blog's wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  • If you're downloading it for the first time, just copy it to that directory and activate it from the Plugin administration menu.

    Your plugin still not pointing property in the admin panel.

    When I click on FEED menu it points to:
    http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/feed-statistics.php

    And should point to:
    http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=feed-statistics.php

    I had always this problem since the previous version... thanks!

    Error in admin panel:

    WordPress database error: [Can't group on 'identifier']
    SELECT subscribers AS total, CASE WHEN SUM(subscribers) = 1 THEN identifier ELSE CONCAT(identifier, feed) END AS identifier FROM wp_feed_subscribers WHERE ( (date > '2007-06-10 13:41:15') OR ( LOCATE('###',identifier) != 0 AND date > '2006-12-12 12:41:15' ) ) GROUP BY identifier

    Hello,

    Your plugin works great for me.

    But I do not see any way to put a feed logo right abose or after the number of feeds.
    Also, when I try to add HTML on the feed_subscribers() funtion (lines 574-578) it break the blog.

    If you can think on that for the next versions I will be glad.

    Thanks,
    Rui
